Pat Parungao
WRITER / COLUMNIST [BC]
Pat was born in Langley, BC. In 1880 her great-grandfather migrated to Pacific Canada from southern China and later her grandparents migrated here as well. Their stories are briefly mentioned in Pat’s migration story which can be found on the PCHC website here. Pat has volunteered as a school race relations chairperson; facilitated at multicultural leadership camp; contributed to and edited multicultural publications; and delivered workshops on Canadian multicultural books..
She has presented Human Rights Day Student Symposia; organized Human Library events in educational settings and has participated in educational trips including the 2019 Students on Ice Arctic Expedition, where youth (over 50% of the students from Indigenous communities) were connected to nature, knowledge, people and resources to become future leaders.
Pat actively encourages all people in Pacific Canada to share their migration stories through PCHC, especially IBPOC, LGBTQ2S+, women, people with disabilities whose stories are underrepresented or unseen.
